This was an amazing podcast with our guest Porsche Steele. Listen as she tells her story of taking a “Trip of Change” from America to Nigeria. At only 26, she traveled for the first time on an airline, to meet a man she had never met before, to a country thousands of miles away where she knew no one! 

She tells the story of how her husband proposed and the feeling of learning a different culture, making new friends, being a wife, and running a business.

ABOUT Porsche STEELE:

I am a wife, a business owner, a motivational speaker, a publisher, and a Black American woman living in Nigeria. But three years ago, I was none of that. Three years ago, I was trapped in a home where every one of my moves was monitored, questioned, and denied. Dealing with sexual and emotional abuse, I thought I would never be anyone or achieve anything.

That is until I decided to step out on faith. Following my passion, I dove into literature and the world of book editing and publishing. Secretly, I worked online as an editor and saved up. I also secretly dated a guy from Nigeria. With my online relationship and my online gigs, I knew at some point, I was either going to be found out or I was going to have to reveal the truth.

God had other plans instead. In the middle of the night, I and my older sister walked out the door and never looked back. Three months later, I traveled to Nigeria to meet the man I’d been dating. He proposed to me the day I arrived and we got married that December. Two months after that, we moved into an apartment. Soon, my editing gig blossomed into a full self-publishing service company called MysticqueRose Publishing Services.

I became a podcast host (Motivational Motives), I started a not-for-profit organization (The Emancipation Movement), I published dozens of books for authors and am now writing my own, and I take on speaking engagements where I utilize my story and faith to inspire others, talk about entrepreneurship, discuss generational curses and Black culture, and talk about life in Africa as an American.
